Emenike Out of Today's AFCON Final

Super Eagles' power playing forward, Emmanuel Emenike is a major doubt for Sunday's Africa Cup of Nations Cup final match.

According to Brilafm.net Emenike, who has scored four goals so far in the tournament did not
train again on Friday, making it the second straight day he has
missed training.

Inside sources has it on good authority, however that although the
coaching crew would on Saturday issue a statement on the situation of
the player, team doctors have already made it clear that having suffered
a torn muscle, he would definitely NOT be available for the cracker
against Burkina Faso.

Meanwhile, Victor Moses looks set for the match as he had a light workout on Friday.

The duo of Emenike and Moses cropped injuries during the 4-1 thrashing
handed Mali Wednesday's semi final clash and have so far been the major
injury concerns for Nigeria going into the final on Sunday.
